This is K.M. Wyland, and you are listening to the 385th episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors Podcast.

If you want an extra dose of inspiration for outlining your novel, I just recently got the chance to partner with the acclaimed

email course site High Brow. For something fun and a little different, we put together a 10-day

email course based on my teachings of how to brainstorm and create a truly useful

novel outline. After you sign up you will receive one email a day for 10 days, each of which you

and give you access to all of their hundreds of email courses

on many, many different educational topics.

And even if you're not interested in the premium program,

swing by their site.

They offer tons of free email courses as well.
